• Notes

  W. ARTHUR STUEBING - A former Kitchener grocer, William Arthur Stuebing, 90 Krug Street, age 55, died at K-W Hospital, Saturday after an illness of only six days. Deceased was born in Kitchener on July 14, 1882, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stuebing. He was married at Walkerton on Aug. 20, 1912, to Eleanor Jane Petteplace. For many years Mr. Stuebing was actively associated in the retail grocery business conducted by his father on King and Queen streets. Following dissolution of their partnership he conducted the business under his own name. Of late he was employed as a salesman for J. M. Schneider Ltd. An elder of Trinity United church, he was past chancellor commander of the local lodge of the Knights of Pythias. Surviving are his widow, three sons, Douglas, Stanley and Kenneth, all of Kitchener, two brothers, Walter of Amherstburg, and Baldwin of Kitchener and one sister, Mrs. A. C. Kimmel of Los Angeles, Cal. Funeral services will be public on Tuesday afternoon at 2: 30 o'clock from the residence to Woodland Cemetery for interment. Rev. Clarke Logan, Kitchener and Rev. G. M. MacLennan, Toronto, will officiate. Unidentified Newspaper Obituary ______________________ BERLIN. July 20.- J. Fiddler, who for many years was in the employ of Dunke & Co., grocers, recently opened up a store of his own on Courtland Avenue and is meeting with success. There was a time when it was considered that to be successful a downtown grocery store in Berlin had to be located on King Street, or within a very limited stretch of that thorough-fare. By the number who tried to go against this argument and failed there seemed to be a great deal of truth in it, but this theory has been exploded by the successful business being conducted by Stuebing & Son, on Queen Street. Until about a year ago Mr. Stuebing. Sr., was located on King Street, when J. P. Bender, in order to get the stand for a bookstore, paid Mr. Stuebing 100 cents on the dollar and ran off the stock. Shortly after that, Mr. Stuebing, associated with his son Arthur. late of Detroit, started their present business on Queen Street. William Roos, of Randall & Roos, wholesale grocers; is probably the most enthusiastic supporter in town of the 29th Regt. band of Berlin. When not spoken of as a military band, this organization is the Berlin Musical Society and Mr. Roos has been treasurer of the society fur many years and the progress of the hand to the position of one of the leading bands of Canada is due in no small measure to his efforts.
